Apologies for the site being down

by beatthegmat » Sat May 08, 2010 8:35 am
Dear Beat The GMAT Community,

This morning at 12:20AM, Beat The GMAT's hosting provider had a power failure that took down our website for 3.5 hours. My apologies for this huge inconvenience!

We're embarrassed about this situation, but we've learned from it as well. In the near future we will be re-designing our server architecture to be more redundant, with load balancers and multiple server sites across the world. This arrangement will dramatically reduce the risk of an outage like this happening again.

We really appreciate your patience and support. Believe me, the entire Beat The GMAT team is committed to keeping this website healthy and growing!
